My invention has for its object to provide a hose supporter with a button plate having one or more slots, and a button secured thereto, there being a flexible or web member having an opening, through which the button is disposed, the flexible or web member extending over the button plate and through one or more of the slots, by which means it is held in position on the button plate.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following complete specification, in which the preferred form of-the invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar characters of reference 1 indicate corresponding parts in all the views, in which- Figure 1 is aplan view of Fig. 2; Fig.

2 is a longitudinal sectional view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 1s a longitudinal sectlonal v ew of a modified form of the supporter; F1g. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of another modified form of the supporter; F1g. 5 is a plan view of the button plate and button, which are used with the several forms of my invention; and Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation of still another form of the invention. y

In hose supporters which must be manufactured at very little cost, in order that they may find a ready sale, there is great difficulty in properly covering the metal button, so that there is no danger of the flexible or web memberslipping. In my improvement an opening is made in the flexible or web member, through which the button is disposed, which revents any movement of the flexible or web member at the button, the flexible or web member being then disposed through slots in the button plate for covering the button plate and button, as may be desired.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that the button plate 5 has a button 6, and two slots 7 and 7, one disposed at each side of the button 6. As shown in Fig. 2, this button and button plate are covered by the flexible or web member 8 Specification of Letters Eatent.

in the following manner: The flexible or web member 8 has an opening 9 through which shank 10 of the button 6 is disposed, the portion 11 of the flexible web ineml er 8 being disposed over the top of the button S, then down through the slot 7. The portion 12 of the flexible or web member 8 adjacent the opening 9 is disposed down through the slot 7 then under the bottom through the slot- 7, and

,4 1 over the edge or tne plate ad acent the said slot 7 then under the bottom 13 of the plate 5 to the point 14:, where it is sewed to the portion 15, which forms a continuation of the portion 110i the web or flexible mem her. In this way the button 6 is covered, and the bottom 13 of the plate 5 is also covered, so that it is impossible for it to come in contact with the body of the person wearing the supporter. To the flexible or web member 8 there may be secured a ring 16, which may be disposed around that portion or the flexible or web member ,8 which is disposed over the button'6. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings the flexible or web memher 1? has an opening 18, through which the shank 10 of the button is disposed, this flexible or web member 1'? being then disposed over the top of the button 6 as at 19, then down through the slot 7 in the button plate 5. The flexible or web member being then disposed under the bottom 13 of the button plate 5, up through the slot 7, in the button plate, then over the adjacent edge 5 of the button plate, then again under the bottom 13 of the button plate, and again up through the slot 7, where it extent s as shown at 20. The portion 21 of the flexible or web member 21 at the other side of the opening 18 is disposed down through the slot 7, and then between the bottom 13 of the button plate 5 and the flrst-i'nentioned portion of the flexible or web member 17. In this form of the invention, the button is covered by the flexible or web member, and the greater portion of the bottom 13 of the plate 5 is also covered.

In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, the flexible or web member 22 has an opening 23, near its terminal 24, through which the shank 10 of the button 6 is disposed, the flexible or web member then extending down through the 13 of the plate then up slot 7 the button plate 5, then under bottom 13 of the button plate 5, as shown at i 25, then around the edge of the button plate, then to the shank 10, where the flexible or web member 22 has another opening 26, through whichthe shank 10 of the button 6 is-disposed, the flexible or web member 22 then extending down through the slot 7, where it extends, as shown at 27. In this form of the invention the bottom of the button plate 5 is covered for its full dis tance.

In Fig. 6 I show another form of the invention in whichthe flexible or web member 30 has an opening 31 through which the shank 32 of the button 33 is disposed, the flexible or web member extending down through the slot 34-, then under the bottom member 35 up through the slot 36 over the top of the button 33 around the'end 37 of the bottom member 35 again under the bottom 35' andagain up through the slot 36;
